Hello :D

Just wondering if raw blackwood is worth anything. I am cutting down a large tree and wanting to know what it is worth.

Thank you :)

I wouldn't mind getting some blackwood at $40/cube. Could be some fun cutting it up and sharing it around with the guys here.

If it is big and sound it could be worth quite a lot of money. Try Tim Kennedy of Bowerbird SDalvaged Timbers at Millgrove. mobile: 0402260427.

Usually you just give the stuff to other members of the Woodwork forums.

Ha ha, just joking.

PTC is right, the price just varies a bit from place to place.

It is a realy beautiful timber, and very hard but cuts clean. Any wood worker should try to get some and have a go as it makes very striking furniture.

If its Acacia melanoxylon (real blackwood) it is reasonbly valuable and used mostly in expensive (if overpriced) fine furniture. We burn it in Tassie (I don't) it throws a good heat and burns to a very fine white ash.:D

As all good Wattles do.
Its a shame to burn it, but boy does it throw out some heat.
